Kuya

Our car stopped in front of a luxurious mansion in the province. It was extremely perfect. I think mas malaki pa ito compared to our mansion in Bicol. I am sitting in the backseat while my parents are in front. I rolled my windows down to have a glimpse in my surrounding.

The color of nature never fails to amaze me. Ang ganda ng bahay or should I say palasyo. It was built in the middle of forest. Well, not the typical forest with lots of animals and woods. This was, kinda modern. Ang mga puno ay parang sinadyang patubuin sa gilid ng mansion. In front of the gate has amorous flowers I've never seen in my place. Kung dito palang ay maganda na, what more in the inside?

"Honey we're here," I heard my dad announced when we reach their front door. I automatically unbuckled my seatbelt. Pagkalabas ko ng sasakyan, ngumiti ako sa dalawang tao na nakatayo sa entrance.

"Kuya!" My mother greeted his brother with a smile. All I can say is that.. they're effing rich. Even their walls and decors shouts affluency.

"I miss you princess," My mother giggled in response. Magkatabi kaming nakatayo ni dad sa kanilang harapan.

"I am truly sorry for the inconvenience." I heard her say.

My eyes roam everywhere. Kanina napansin kong may garden sila, which I'm sure malaking garden. Napangisi ako, I think I will enjoy my stay here.

"Ano ka ba! This is nothing."

Napatingin ako sa babae sa harap, which I think asawa ni tito.  I smiled when she look at me and gave me an welcoming smile.

"Ito na ba si Angel?" marahan niyang tanong. I liked her voice... it's calm and compose.

"Oh yes! This is my daughter." Pagpapakilala ni mommy. She went to my side and hold my arm for acknowledgement.

"Hello po tito, tita. I'm Angel Damascus Encinareal," I introduced myself. I heard my tito chuckling. Alanganin akong ngumiti.

"You're so cute hija. Do you remember when you used to play with D?" Tita asked, umiling ako.

I remember my mom telling me that my younger self was always visiting this place. Other than that, I don't know. Nakalimutan ko ang rason kung bakit ako nawiwiling bumisita dito when in fact, ang layo nito sa Bicol. I also forgot about this D. I don't know why.. maybe kasi I am too young? It was I think, based on her stories I was around 8 years old..

Tita gave me a saddening smile. Siguro masasayang alaala ito, kaya ganito na lang siya ka lungkot.

"It's okay hipag, she is here na. They can make another unforgettable memories with her cousin," My mother said. Ngumiti ng malawak si tita. Nanatiling tahimik si Tito and daddy.

"Yes, tama ka. Matutuwa ang anak ko 'pag nalaman niyang nandito ka hija." Alanganin akong ngumiti. Maybe it's D she's talking about.

I pouted, his name is too short. Natatamad siguro sila tita sa time na 'yon.

"Oh come in, come in," pag-iimbita niya.

"Mom, I'll just roam round." Pagpapalam ko kay Mommy.

She gave me a smile, before nodding. I kissed her on the cheeks. Nauna na sila daddy and tito inside, that's why I didn't got the chance na magpaalam.
Malawak ang ngiti kong tinahak ang daan sa garden. If I am not mistaken.
I smile widely when I see lots of beautiful sunflowers. They are really my favorite. Natutuwa ako sa kanilang looks and smell. Some might say, sunflowers smells horrible, but I don't.

Tama nga ako, their garden is  massive. May iba't ibang bulaklak akong nakita, but I prefere going into the sunflowers rows. Every flowers has bleachers in the side na pwedeng upuan. Napangiti ako, this is heaven.
Agad kong tinakbo ko ang pagitan ng sunflowers.

They can make business on this!

I giggled at my thought. Pumitas ako ng isa. Hindi ko mapigilang muling mapangiti. I suddenly miss bicol. In there, I have my own garden filled with sunflowers. Only sunflowers. One time, mommy planted a rose, but I got pissed and throw it away. Mula noon, she never plant any flower anymore. I made it clear to them na only my sunflowers for the space. Wala naman silang nagawa. I am kind of selfish about flowers.

I walk slowly 'til I reaches the bleacher. I stopped on my track when I saw a man comfortably sitting on it. His back was on me. I shrugged. Maybe we can share. I'm sure he's one of my tito's son. Lumakad ako hanggang nasa harapan ko na siya

"Hello!" Masiglang pagbati ko.

I smiled widely, while he was not even looking at me. I tried to meet his gaze but he would always avoid it. Anong problema niya? Is he mad that I am here? It's like hindi siya masaya na nandito ako.

"A-hm.. can we share the seat po kuya?" I innocently ask. I tried my luck. I really want to stay here.

This time, he look at me with his crossed eye brows. Na-ihakbang ko paatras ang aking paa. Damn! Why does he look sexy as hell?

"What did you say?" 

Wala sa sarili kong pinaypay ang dalang bulaklak. Naagad kong pinagsisihan, damn this is my baby!

I'm sorry, hindi ko sinasadya.

Huminga ako ng malalim bago tumingin sa mata niya. I like his eyes.
"Can we share the seat po kuya?"I repeated what I said earlier.

Sabi niya kasi. Masunurin naman akong dalaga. He suddenly chuckled. He stand up and put his hands on his waist. Napatingala ako, I am not small, sadyang mataas lang siya.

"I am your what?" he ask playfully asked. May problema ba siya sa pandinig? Bakit lagi niya akong pinapaulit.

"Ah kuya?" I hesitantly utter the word. Gusto ko lang namang umupo and to enjoy the view. It seems na bawal pala.

Umiling siya like he can't believe what I just said. "Sure baby, you can have the seat. Your kuya is leaving anyway."

Umawang ang labi ko sa narinig. He put his hands inside his pocket. He's wearing a plain gray shirt and a khaki shorts. He looks simple but hot.

And wait.. did he just call me baby?

I should be angry kasi hindi na naman ako baby, I am a totally a grown lady. I am 22 and a college student. So technically, hindi na ako baby. Pero bakit ang ganda sa pandinig at sarap sa pakiramdam?

Nakatingin na lamang ako sa papalayo niyang bulto. Is he the 'D they're talking about? Siya ba ng pinsan ko na laging kong nakakalaro noon?
